A Pretty Pastel Christmas Card

Good morning bloggers!
I know, I don't usually post on a Saturday but 
I won a challenge over at Two Sisters Challenge Blog
 & was invited to GD with them!
I love playing in their challenges so,of course I jumped at the chance 
although I probably shouldn't have as we are still in the midst of 
DIY & redecoration! lol However, there is light at the end of the tunnel & 
all the floorboards in the lounge are actually on the floor now! 
Next up is the hallway! 

The theme for  the Two Sisters Challenge #116 
is Pastel Christmas
Here's my card!


It's a little A6 card. I'm trying to keep my Christmas cards as flat 
as I can this year so I can  mail them with a normal stamp.
The pink ribbon is from my stash & the papers are remnants of 
two digital downloads by Elaine Hayhoe over at
Card Making Downloads here & here.
They have been printed off since at least last year
in my Christmas Stash!


The image is the lovely Finch On Pine by IKEsART  
I coloured it up using my Promarkers & Flexmarkers
in pastel type shades.


I decorated the inside of the card with scraps
of the DP's. I also added some Papermania Mosaic Gems
just to finish the card off!

  7. This pastel color combination is far from a traditional one for Christmas cards, but you certainly succeeded in giving it the right Christmas feel anyway! I think you've done a great job with the coloring of this image, and the colors of your papers match those of your image perfectly!
